How much does the 2016 Mercedes-Benz G-Class cost?

Prices have softened 6.33% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 283 listings available, which gives you a modest amount of inventory to compare before you buy.

Is the 2016 Mercedes-Benz G-Class a good car?

Yes — the 5/5 user rating points to very strong owner satisfaction. The 2016 Mercedes-Benz G-Class stands out because it combines military-rooted toughness with unmistakable luxury and presence, and its boxy shape and hard-core off-road ability are central to its appeal. Buyers were drawn to its powerful V8 lineup, and the model’s reputation for being capable far beyond paved roads helped make it one of the most distinctive SUVs on sale. For you, that means this is a strong fit if you want rare character, serious off-road hardware, and the kind of presence few SUVs can match. 33.9% of listings are priced as good or great deals, which gives you some room to shop selectively.

Is the 2016 Mercedes-Benz G-Class reliable?

Owners rate it 5/5, a strong signal of long-term satisfaction. The 2016 Mercedes-Benz G-Class is described as expensive to buy and expensive to keep, and the source notes that later G550 and AMG G63 models are more reliable than earlier versions, though they still require costly upkeep. That makes reliability less about simple trouble-free ownership and more about whether you’re prepared for premium maintenance and repair costs over time. For used buyers, the main long-term risk is that a neglected example can become very expensive to own.

What should I look for when buying a used 2016 Mercedes-Benz G-Class?

At 64.7% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.

You should start with a full vehicle history report so you can separate clean examples from trucks with prior damage or repeated claims. Then prioritize a pre-purchase inspection that focuses on body condition, signs of off-road use, and evidence of deferred maintenance, since this model’s appeal depends heavily on both its mechanical health and its presentation. If you’re comparing multiple listings, give extra weight to the ones with the cleanest history and the most consistent condition.

Is now a good time to buy a used 2016 Mercedes-Benz G-Class?

This looks like a moderate, selective buyer’s market, so you can be choosy if you’re patient.

• Deal availability: 33.9% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 283 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 6.33% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 64.7% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $60,209, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

What is the 2016 Mercedes-Benz G-Class's resale value?

The current average of $62,869 sits slightly below last year's $67,117.

That price movement suggests the market has cooled enough to give you a better entry point now, but it also means future sellers may not see the same pricing strength they would have a year ago. If you buy well and keep the truck in strong condition, you’ll be better positioned to protect value when it’s time to sell. The model’s distinctive image and limited supply help support demand, but condition and history will matter a lot when you go back to market.

Vehicles with strong owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 5/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.

Should I buy a 2016 Mercedes-Benz G-Class or consider a different year?

If you're weighing the 2016 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:

Choose the 2016 if:

• 33.9% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• At 64.7% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 6.33% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 5/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.

The bottom line: If you want the classic G-Class formula with strong owner satisfaction and a market that has eased a bit, the 2016 is a sensible target. You should focus on the best-documented, cleanest example you can find, because condition and history matter more here than chasing the cheapest sticker. If you’re especially price-sensitive, a nearby year with similar character may be worth comparing, but the 2016 remains a compelling choice when you want the right mix of value, presence, and demand.
